    What, I mean that's only a 585 deadlift.... that's no big deal. Anyone can do that.

    I LOVE lifting as heavy as I can, I started at the gym June 2014 and went from 1 -45lb weight on each side to 6 -45lb on each side... needless to say I love lifting next to guys because I smoke them all. :) Hehe.
    Though I've hit a bit of a weight loss plateau these past 6 months, I'm trying to figure out ways of incorporating more cardio into my life and maybe changing things up... definitely need to work on the diet part of my weight loss. Ugh. But I don't think I could ever give up lifting, addicted... thoroughly addicted. :)
    Do what you want, do what makes you feel good and the rest will fall into place. It feels good to be strong, I'll take that any day.

    umm so you are back squatting 585? Or are you referring to leg press?

    yes, you need to learn how to cook, clean, do laundry, and keep your man happy ...because lifting is only for men.

    eh. wasn't an accusation- that makes it sound like I thought it was wrong- when I just don't. I have no issues with people on gear. It's an openly free subject for jokes to me. Sorry you don't feel the same. NMP.

    Semantics.

    Also...assumptions.

    I was explaining why I did not get the 'sarcasm;. Also...snark...nice!.

    Do you mean you went from 1 rep with 45lbs each side to 6 reps at 45lbs each side?

    no, you don't want to because you will get bulky and look like a man...

    please stop trying to squat...

    I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but cooking is a man's sport. TWO INGREDIENTS ENTER, ONE SURVIVES.

    Yeah, coffee helps in engaging the brain for me too, so probably a good rule to have.
